Determining the stability factors in the population size dynamics for the cities of the Far East

Network models were used to analyze the population size dynamics for the cities of the Far East for different population densities over a time interval containing a critical time of development. Graphical analysis with a different size of scales made it possible to break down the aggregate dynamics into two clusters: decrease or relatively stable state of the number of inhabitants in cities. In the persisting positive dynamics of development of the cities, we identified the importance of two factors: the border location, and the presence of enterprises of federal jurisdiction, which are exceptionally important for the state as a whole.
